The second major release for the time I am working on these packages is out.

What is new?

From the package site I only added an own install/start/stop log to the package center, but Subsonic itself has many new features (Change log here). It now scans my library with about 45k songs in under 10 minutes and has the MiniSub html5 interface on board (in Subsonic go to More -> MiniSub). You can still have direct Access to it with adding /mini after your Subsonic URL or Add an icon to your DSM during update process. Also Madevil has finished his MashupMod so i included this again.

What do I have to consider?

As far as my testing went today I can say that the library of 4.6 and 4.7 are incompatible so you will loose all your settings. (It isn’t that bad because file searching is now about 10 times faster than in 4.6). If you want to backup and restore your users read this article in the Subsonic Forum (thanks to MoBO).

With installing the MashupMod version you will get many benefits but you can not register your Subsonic to get the <name>.subsonic.org address.

Also MashupMod requires Java 7 wich hasn’t been released for Atom based Diskstations, yet. You have to stick to the normal 4.7 version. I disabled the option to install MashupMod on x86 Systems.

As there is no Java package for the new PPC Diskstations DS213+ and DS413 you can not install any Java programs there, including Subsonic.

Now have fun with it the effort of upgrading is totally worth it.

The update button will appear in you package center soon (check my Subsonic install instructions on how to do this). You want to download and install it it manually? Here you go:

Subsonic 4.7 came out on Wednesday, but I am busy till Friday next Week (09-21-2012). I am afraid to tell you that you can’t expect the new package before this date. As Subsonic is a (java based) program and not just a bunch of web sides like ownCloud it requires some more work. This also is a major release and I don’t want to cause any installation bugs, so I will keep testing it a few days and install, update and deinstall it many times in every possible way, which takes a lot of time (and patience). So relax another Week, 4.7 will definitely come out in September.

I am on vacation till 4th of September, so I won’t upload any new packages before then. I hope ownCloud 5 and Subsonic 4.7 will be released until then so I can upload the new version as quickly as possible.

So this is probably the last ownCloud 4 package as version 5 is about to come in August.

It fixes a few bugs.

I have also done a few little things with the package. Since DSM 3.0 Synology uses a “config” file instead of the “application.cfg” to set links from the DSM to applications. But the construction of the config file is very badly documented (for example there is no description how to change the target port) in the official “3rd Party Apps Developer Guide” so I was always working with the old application.cfg. But now I have been analyzing many of the official package config files, found many undocumented properties and a working solution.

So, what’s different for you? Nothing but a larger icon in the DSM menu (48×48 instead of 36×36)

Beside this I have changed the way of providing the packages. Now there is a public Dropbox folder with all versions in it, so you can easily look for new version or install old versions when you’ve got problems with new ones. If you are already downloading via repo nothing will change, you will see all further updates in the DSM.

For some reason I am stuck in the implementation of adding existing folders to the file system of owncloud. Neither the creation of symlinks nor the official “Custom Mount Configuration” works. If you have found a proper solution for this, please post it here so I can see what I can do to implement it into the package.

My first aim is that every user can see and use the existing “public” folder in owncloud. If this works it won’t be that hard to add custom folders.

Until then you can – as always – download the updated package via repo or here:
